Stop the Train, I Want to Get Off!!
They said, Port Moody gets a train.
We asked, "What’s this about?"
They said we know what’s best for you
And we don’t give a ‘HOOT’.
The people said, "We’d like to talk."
Our leaders said, "Be quiet."
Coquitlam’s Mayor and Mr. Puil
They said, "Shut up and buy it."
They wrote a budget, more or less,
It really gets quite scary.
The price is millions more we find,
Much like our ‘Fast Cat Ferry’.
They’ve told us there are portals
Named A, B, C and D
Now they refuse to let us know
Just which one it will be.
They said "Your taxes on your house,
They won’t go up a penny."
They’ve lied before; they’ll lie again,
‘Cause where’ll they fine the money.
Port Moody’s Mayor, as you all know,
His Honour Mr. Joe,
Just settles back and nods his head
And says, John, Way to Go.
The paying folks in Moody
Hold meetings asking why
The train’s not down the Lougheed,
Makes sense to you and I.
We know that routes much cheaper,
Less folks to lose their homes.
They won’t discuss this option
In person or by phone.
I think it’s time we all stood up
Demand we get an audit.
‘Cause fiscal sense and common sense
Means we would all applaud it.
Your bank account is in the hands
Of folks we’ve come to question.
They write the cheques and spend the cash
And we have no decision.
They want to tunnel under some
And some they’ll just demolish.
And anything that’s in their way
The rules, they’ll just abolish.
Victoria, our seat of power,
A new man on the throne.
I’d hoped he’d have more common sense
Cut spending to the bone.
But bless my soul, to my chagrin
It’s still the same old story.
They’re NDP, they carry on
And no one says "I’m sorry."
The train moves on, the budgets short
The planning’s just a joke.
I hope you all will voice your thoughts,
"Ujjal, remove our yoke."
